Pomarine #1
Observation details
Photos were taken of each of the six birds. The last 2 were not identified in the field, but were identified as Pomarines later on from photos. Here is the in-bird report: POMARINE JAEGER,4 juvs observed flying eastward- Two arrived from the west at 8:45AM. Both passed close by and were photographed before departing to the east. About 9:00AM one was seen flying westward a half-mile offshore; this was assumed to be one of the original birds returning. At 9:13AM a single Pom came from the west and flew by at close range; it is assumed that this was the westbound bird observed at 9:00AM. At 10:10AM two more Pomarines arrived from the west; one of these had a couple of missing tail feathers (a feature not seen in the earlier birds. (These were not identified in the field)
